Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. There is always a huge demand for novel anticancer drugs and diverse new natural or synthetic compounds are developed continuously by scientists. Presently, a large number of drugs in clinical practice have showed pervasive side effect and multidrug resistance. Sulfonyl or sulfonamide hybrids became one of the most attractive subjects due to their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Sulfonyl hybrids were broadly explored for their anticancer activities and it was found that they possess minimum side effect along with multi-drug resistance activity. This review describes the most recent applications of sulfonyl hybrid analogues in anticancer drug discovery and further discusses the mechanistic insights, structure-activity relationships and molecular docking studies for the potent derivatives.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
